Idle musing: I wonder what Trump's FICO score is

Just a thought for a Sunday morning, but I wonder what Donald Trump's personal credit score is.  You remember Equifax, Transunion and Experian?  Those agencies that keep personal records on all of your personal financial dealings?  They give you a score, for how reliable a credit risk you are.  It isn't a measure of wealth.  It is a measure of how safe a credit bet you are.  If you pay your bills on time, and blah, blah, blah, then anyone thinking about loaning you money will look at you as a safe bet, and decide that they can loan you money.  If you fail to make payments, you are a credit risk.  They'll charge you higher interest rates to loan you money.  That will hurt you if you are trying to buy a car, house, whatever.  Higher scores mean you are a safe bet, and you get lower interest rates.

You know that Trump never pays his bills, and brags about it, right?  He refuses to pay contractors, dares them to take him to court, and he has gotten to the point that no American bank will even consider loaning him money because he is such a famous deadbeat.  He just made a statement telling the UK not to pay anything to the EU for any Brexit deal.  Stiff 'em on the bill, just like he refuses to pay every bill.

So, what's Donald Trump's FICO score?  I'm sure he has a credit freeze on Equifax, Transunion and Experian to prevent anyone from getting his credit reports, but seriously...  What's his FICO score?  He could be a billionaire, and still have a crappy FICO score if he doesn't pay his bills, which, we know he doesn't.

What's Donald Trump's FICO score?  If, as his kids admit, he has to go to the Russians for loans, I wanna know that deadbeat's credit rating.
